Why does my right rear brake make a grinding sound the first few stops each morning and the brake pads are fairly newRONALD ANDERSON - 1997 Honda CR-V - Brakes - 8/20/2011brake shoes have aprox 25K and breaking seems perfect-
8/20/2011 JimmMaybe related to slight amount of dirt trapped between the brake pads and the brake rotor. May also be related to the rear parking brake not fully releasing from the brake rotor. Try to inspect and clean the parking brake cable at the right rear wheel - where it connects to the brake caliper - may be corroded or dirty.

8/10/2011 HouseCallAutoHave to read the ABS code stored. That is how all ABS systems are diagnosed now. Nobody just "knows" what to replace. You can buy your own scan tool for this but it may run you a COUPLE / THREE HUNDRED bucks. Once you know the code I can tell you what to buy and replace yourself. The tool will pay for itself the first time you use it. -

8/3/2011 JimmWith the brake caliper loose (unbolted) but still in place - place a scewdriver between the old disc pad and the rotor and pry the pad and piston back to gain clearance. Then, remove the caliper - and using the old brake pad again - place a c-clamp over the caliper and press the old brake pad to compress the piston into the caliper bore.

Why do brake lights stay on when car is shut offpaulconnellyllc - 1998 Honda Accord - Brakes - 7/23/2011
-
7/23/2011 JimmCheck the brake light switch - located under the brake pedal arm - near the brake arm pivot just underneath the instrument panel. This switch may be faulty causing the light to stay on. Also may be a faulty brake light relay.

The ABS light is constantly on. Assuming I have lost the ABS system, what is the cost to repair?momto2 - 2003 Honda Civic - Brakes - 7/6/2011

7/6/2011 yboy82You have to identify first what the stored trouble code is. By using a scan tool capable of reading ABS trouble code. The extracted trouble code will help you find the fault of your vehicle's problem and that's the time you can have the estimate cost of the repair. -

Replacing rear brake pads I found inside pad untouched and outside pad wiped out. What is wrong?Bradley L - 2002 Honda CR-V - Brakes - 6/23/2011-
6/23/2011 JimmMost likely the uneven wear is due to a stuck of frozen (or partially frozen) brake caliper. The piston may be stuck in the caliper bore and not fully retracting when the brakes are not applied. This indicates the brake calipers need servicing / repair / replacement.

6/15/2011 Spoon Sportstry looking on the kick board on the drivers side it's the panel on the lower left the one you kick when you drive with the left foot. or it could be on the left hand side of the dash, you will see it when you open your door all the way look at the end of the dash as you open the door all the way . it could also be underneath the steering wheel side below the dash.

When i go to stop the car pulls to the left and pedal gets hard.ocasio - 1992 Honda Accord - Brakes - 5/27/2011i change that caliper twice and two other ones along with brake lines and MC and PB-
5/27/2011 Spoon SportsIt could simply be air in the lines or a jammed caliper. If you right caliper is locked or sticking on a little bit then when you are driving it is braking a little bit...pulling you right, but when you brake, the jammed (right) one stays where it is and the left works properly...pulling you to the left.
5/31/2011 ocasioi change the calipers and i still have that problem
